Special Features
- The CURE No. 6 carbon fiber barrel uses Bergara's proprietary Cold Bore Technology, which is engineered to maintain consistent point of impact from the first cold shot through extended strings of fire, addressing a weakness common in other carbon-wrapped barrel designs.
- The carbon fiber barrel wrap reduces total rifle weight to 6.4 pounds while retaining a steel core barrel, preserving the rigidity, heat management, and longevity that an all-carbon barrel cannot match.
- The Sniper Grey Cerakote finish covers the full action and barrel exterior, providing corrosion and abrasion resistance suited for rain, snow, and harsh field environments without adding measurable weight.
- The B-14 action features a coned bolt nose and coned breech that guide cartridges smoothly into the chamber during cycling, reducing the binding and hesitation common in rough field conditions.
- The hand-painted camo stock with SoftTouch finish adds a tacky texture across the entire grip surface that holds firm in wet or cold-weather glove use without any additional grip wraps or aftermarket tape.
- The Remington 700-pattern scope base compatibility opens the widest available aftermarket selection for rings, bases, and mounting solutions at every price point.
- The included Quake rifle sling attaches directly to the factory sling studs and adds a ready carry solution without requiring additional purchases out of the box.
Practical Benefits
- At 6.4 pounds, this rifle carries lighter than most standard-contour 308 bolt guns, making a full day of ridge walking or mountain hunting noticeably less demanding on your body.
- The 20-inch barrel keeps overall length to 39.5 inches, a dimension that moves easily through dense brush, fits in compact rifle cases, and handles naturally from a pack or sling.
- The .308 Winchester chambering gives you access to the broadest factory ammunition selection of any centerfire hunting cartridge, from 150-grain deer loads to 175-grain long-range projectiles, in virtually every price range.
- The adjustable Performance Trigger lets you set pull weight to match your shooting preference, whether you are working a benchrest at the range or taking a field shot in unpredictable conditions.
- The factory-threaded muzzle with the included Omni brake means you can run a suppressor on this rifle from the moment you take ownership, with no additional machining required.
- If you are a backcountry hunter who refuses to compromise accuracy or durability to save weight, the Bergara B-14 Ridge Carbon Wilderness gives your hunts a rifle that earns its place in the pack.
The Bergara B-14 Ridge Carbon Wilderness (B14S521CF) in .308 Winchester is a proven platform for the weight-conscious backcountry hunter who demands a carbon-barreled, suppressor-ready bolt-action that performs in every condition the field delivers.
